There is little doubt
that pre-teens are in an often confusing time of quest and discovery, especially
with issues concerning their bodies, their sexuality, and their future. There
are countless sources – from the airwaves, to peers, to the Internet
– ready to provide answers.

If you are familiar with
the Theology of the Body for Teens: High School Edition, you will instantly
recognize and appreciate the format of the Theology of the Body for Teens:
Middle School Edition. Specifically designed for 6th through 8th grades, it
too uses a great mix of stories, real-life examples, activities, prayers,
and references to the culture that are relevant to lives of the youth.

This can be used as a
stand alone program, but works perfectly as a precursor to the High School
Edition. The 8-session Middle School program includes a Leader’s Guide,
a Student Workbook, a Parent’s Guide, and an exciting and dynamic DVD
component.

Theology of the Body for
Teens: Middle School Edition answers questions such as:

Who am I?
Are there consequences to my actions?
What is the difference between love and lust?
How do I balance family, friends, school, God, music, TV, internet, texting,
etc., in my daily life?
How can I discern my vocation to marriage, priesthood, or religious life?
How do I deal with bullying, gossip, peer pressure, pornography, divorce,
etc?
Can I live my Catholic faith no matter how I messed up in the past?
